Her Brother's Keeper

by Sara Hoskinson Frommer

Overview

Joan Spencer, the viola-playing protagonist of Frommer's small-town Indiana mysteries, doesn't look for trouble but it keeps finding her. A few days before her daughter's wedding, the last thing Joan needs is something else to worry about--but here it is, ready or not. Her ex-con brother Dave was the family black sheep, but years have passed since they've heard from him. Always the nonconformist, he's arrived way too early. Meanwhile Joan has to keep up with work, in addition to all the planning, even for a simple wedding; the groom's mother disapproves of everyone and everything; and Joan's own mother-in-law, whose mind is failing fast, lands smack in the middle of a murder...

Editorial Reviews

Although as the ending neared I thought I knew the identity of the killer, I was wrong, and it was a surprising finish. This is a welcome addition to the series, with its contingent of [mostly] likeable characters and the familiar small-town setting. Thoroughly enjoyable, it is RECOMMENDED.

It's always fun reading about heroines married to cops, and Frommer does an excellent job of compartmentalizing the role that Joan's husband, Fred, plays in the solution to the murder. It's small town Indiana, and Joan is a small town girl with a big heart. The interplay between her brother's behavior and the mother-in-law keeps things spicy.

Her Brother's Keeper is a captivating, absorbing family mystery. The characters are uniformly well drawn, with a good mixture of individual strengths and weaknesses, and almost as interesting, their own perceived strengths. . . enjoyable from start to finish.
